Here is a youtube clip of the Flight Data. : https://youtu.be/w44_SlzfUd4
I was Flying in High Winds, this was an error in judgement on my part, however the P4A performed very well considering in the first 7 minutes of flight. However the first error ocurred just after 7 mins 39 secs into the flight. Atti Mode was enabled when GPS Data Error and then Weak GPS Signal. I was Fortunate I could control the Drone pointing the gimbal and Camera in my direction and then use full forward control stick, then land by grabing the leg and CSC.
I have tested 3 launches and landings in calm conditons just raising to 6m then land again. GPS seemed to work fine with 15 sat lock.
I need to monitor it over a few more flights in calm conditions. To me I have to wonder if sudden wind gusts can cause a GPS error as instantly it’s in a different location when no stick control movement. Would extreme strong wind cause GPS software as it’s states GPS data error then Speed error , satellite positioning error. Weak GPS signal. GPS Position no Match. GPS communication error please restart aircraft.
Just so many errors with no apparent reason just very strong wind.
Anyone with advice or comments feel free to reply.
cheers Dan.
